A hygienic oral pacification device includes a fluid-filled bladder. The bladder includes a nipple and alveolar ridge-mating flanges. The bladder is dynamically shaped and allows for pressures provided by the suckling child to re-shaping the bladder and flanges. A bite-block extends into the bladder to maintain a fluid path from nipple to flanges. As the child completes the suckling cycle, the bladder nipple is depressed and fluid is forced in the engorging flanges. The flanges thus cover the alveolar ridges and fill the vestibules. Hard pads set along a superior surface of the nipple are compressed against the maxilla palate and provide lateral force to encourage expansion of the palate. The nipple may be bifurcated into left and right opposing lobes which can split laterally to enhance lateral force on maxilla.

A method for producing a pacifier teat, and a pacifier teat with a teat section which forms a hollow space and which is adjoined by a stem, wherein an elastic hollow body comprising the teat section and the stem is injection molded or pre-formed by a dipping method, and opposite wall sections of the pre-formed hollow body are connected to each other in the region of the stem.

A shield for a pacifier, teether, feeding device, sippy cup or the like. The shield carries a structure that is adapted to be inserted into the mouth of a young child. There is a body defining an opening at which the structure is carried and an inner surface surrounding this opening and encompassing the perioral areas surrounding the lips. The body defines a superior portion superior to the opening and an inferior portion inferior to the opening, and defines a lateral axis passing laterally through the opening. The superior portion is generally concave laterally on both sides of the vertical midline, to define an inner surface that closely conforms to the upper lip and perioral areas. At least the part of the inferior portion close to and on either side of the vertical midline is offset outward away from the face compared to the inner surface of the superior portion that is close to and on either side of the vertical midline, to allow the mandible to move anteriorly without being inhibited by the shield.

Molding method of manufacturing for soft-shield and orthodontic pacifiers, and for pacifiers having snap-in caps that prevent exposing baglet to molten plastic during molding process.

The invention relates to a pacifier designed to soothe infants, particularly those who are breastfed, by mimicking the natural contours of an infant's mouth. The pacifier is shaped to accommodate the palate, tongue, and teeth alignment, reducing the risk of teeth misalignment, palate deformation, and weakened tongue muscles. The optimized shape facilitates easier sucking and reduces crying and fussiness. The design also helps minimize nipple confusion, making it suitable for breastfeeding mothers. The unique nipple design can be adapted for use in baby bottle nipples, offering potential for future innovation in infant care.

Provided are an anti-snaggletooth pacifier and a nipple for a feeding bottle thereof, comprising: a teat sleeve portion (13) having a teat member (132), one end of the teat member (132) being connected to a handle portion (133); a dental arch sleeve portion (11), the teat sleeve portion (13) being connected to an upper side of the dental arch sleeve portion (11) by means of the handle portion (133); and a tongue sleeve portion (12), a tongue pad cavity (120) being formed between the tongue sleeve portion (12) and the teat sleeve portion (13), and the tongue sleeve portion (12) being connected to a lower side of the dental arch sleeve portion (11). The tongue of a baby is accommodated by the tongue sleeve portion (12), so that the tongue is fixed and pressed upwards, thus avoiding that the tongue retracts downwards for a long term and thus the tooth arch is shrunk to cause the development of snaggletooth and dental occlusion deformation in the tooth growth process.
